Reminder: CLE credit reporting year ends on March 31

The 2021-2022 reporting year for CLE credits ends on March 31, 2022. Please report your credits promptly to avoid being charged a late filing fee. 

If you are still looking for last-minute credits, recorded CLE are available at www.montana.inreachce.com. Please keep in mind that there continues to be a 5.0 credit cap on the number of on-demand credits that can be claimed during the reporting year.

If you haven’t already done so, please visit www.mtcle.org and set up a MyMTCLE account. This gives you easy access to your transcript so you can keep an eye on how many credits you still need to stay in compliance for the reporting year. The website is also where you will find the CLE Credit Reporting Form, under the “Lawyer” tab.
